Since eating is forbidden during the day, Ramadan meals are taken early in the morning (Suhoor) and again at night (Iftar). The first meal of the day is Suhoor, which should be eaten as close to dawn as possible. Traditionally, the Suhoor might include porridge, bread or fruit. It is said that the Prophet Mohammad himself recommended including dates as part of the Suhoor meal.

Once the sun begins to set, the daily fast is slowly broken with a simple snack-like bread, cheese or fruit. Iftar often includes a hearty stew or spiced vegetable dish. Once Iftar is over, Muslims usually meet at the mosque or at each other’s houses for visiting and discussion.
